Marriage status has surprising link to cancer risk, study suggests: 'Clear signal' - AOL.com
Overview
A University of Miami study found that never-married adults are more likely to develop cancer than married adults, with researchers pointing to social support, health behaviors, early detection and access to care as possible reasons. The new finding that rising colorectal cancer deaths in younger adults are concentrated among less-educated people reinforces the importance of social determinants such as education, marital status and access to services in shaping cancer risk and outcomes. Together, these studies suggest prevention and screening efforts should address both social support and socioeconomic barriers.
